Glamping reaches window displays!

In not much more than a decade glamping has traveled from connoisseurs' knowledge to shopping centers

Yesterday, while I was doing some shopping at a shopping center close to my home looking for some clothing I needed and promenading lazily after having finished to find what I needed when I was amazingly surprised by a window display where a detailed recreation of a glamping tent with a big bed inside and fully furnished complete with all the details you may need for having a comfortable stay.

The most relevant point for me was that is not just a window display of a medium sized local brand but. The display belongs to one of the most famous Spanish global fashion brands, with more than seven thousand shops distributed throughout ninety-six markets in the five continents and with shops in the main streets of the main cities of the world which has also diversified to home clothing small furniture ans home accessories.

For me there is only one meaning for the fact that glamping is arriving to window displays, particularly in an area, Majadahonda, and a country, Spain, where glamping is not a common choice for holidays although this kind of tourism is increasingly gaining a foothold , the meaning is not only that glamping has come to stay but that it is really a tourism tipology that, like a hungry bear would do, is going to take a big piece of the tourism cake.

That is good news for the glamping market as a whole and for the all the business involved in this market that is growing faster and faster with solid steps all around the world.
